Commit messages with umlauts do not work here as well:

transaction abort!
rollback completed
abort: decoding near 'ätsch': 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe4 in position 
0: ordinal not in range(128)!

I just did a quick test and it seems that filenames with umlauts work 
correctly here:

lars at paul:~/tmp/test$ hg init
lars at paul:~/tmp/test$ setxkbmap de
lars at paul:~/tmp/test$ touch äöü
lars at paul:~/tmp/test$ hg add äöü
lars at paul:~/tmp/test$ hg ci -m "..."
lars at paul:~/tmp/test$ hg view
lars at paul:~/tmp/test$ hg rename äöü ßapü
lars at paul:~/tmp/test$ hg ci -m "aetsch"
lars at paul:~/tmp/test$ hg log -v
